Tune Hotel in Edinburgh Wins New Hotel of the Year Award

The four-month old Tune Hotel Haymarket, Edinburgh, has been named the New Hotel of the Year in Scotland by the Scottish Hotel Awards 2013.

Group CEO Mark Lankester, said, “To win in the New Hotel of the Year category is totally unpredicted. The award actually raised the bar for our hotels and goes to prove that we have been doing the right thing in providing international standard, high quality accommodation at very affordable prices. We are not only leading in the budget or value category but in fact comparable to the other starred hotels. The key differentiation is in our pricing and giving our guests the best value for their money that has always been our promise.”

Celebrating its 10th Anniversary this year, the Scottish Hotel Awards are an independent event and organised by a professional team whose members have chaired and developed the process and event since 2003. Nominations came from a variety of sources including from the team of reviewers and judging experts, consumers, chefs, hoteliers and other industry contacts.

The Scottish Hotel Awards are thorough in its process with every single nominated hotel visited and stayed at while every individual nominee was met or interviewed. The organisers also carried out their own research and benchmarking to ensure only the best hotels win.
